College Football Betting Trends
Memphis
Memphis is 6-2 with the over in its last eight games in September and 10-4 with the over in its last 14 games on fieldturf.
Tulane
Tulane is 5-2 with the under in its last seven games on fieldturf and 4-1 with the under in its last five games after failing to cover.
Prediction:
The only game Memphis didn’t hit the over was a road trip to Navy. That’s a much different game than the one it will have with Tulane. The Tigers should be able to run all over the Green Wave and put up another huge point total. The Tulane offense should have some success at home as well, as the Green Wave have shown an ability to score behind a balanced offense.
College Football Prediction: Memphis/Tulane Over 67
